Embattled Colorado Professor Files Complaint Against Texas Detractor The Associated PressPublished: Jun 9, 2005 BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill, whose essay comparing some Sept. 11 victims to Nazis led to an investigation into his scholarship and ethnicity, has filed a complaint against one of his accusers.

Churchill's complaint to Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, accuses assistant sociology professor Thomas Brown of academic misconduct. Brown has alleged Churchill fabricated crucial details in his argument that the Army committed genocide against Indians in the 1800s.

In an e-mail to The Denver Post Wednesday, Brown said Churchill was attempting to block him from submitting a more detailed analysis of Churchill's work.

Churchill ignited a controversy when he compared some victims in the World Trade Center to Adolf Eichmann, who orchestrated the Holocaust. University officials concluded he could not be fired for the comments, but they launched an investigation into allegations that he plagiarized or fabricated research and lied about being an American Indian.

Churchill, a tenured professor of ethnic studies, has denied the charges. A CU faculty committee is reviewing the charges and could recommend that he be fired.

His attorney, David Lane, confirmed that Churchill filed a complaint against Brown but denied it was an attempt to silence him.

A Lamar University spokesman said administrators were reviewing Churchill's complaint to decide whether it warrants an investigation. They have not released a copy of the complaint.

Don't you just LOVE when a "radical..anti -establishment" Leftist, hires a high priced lawyer and uses the legal system of the military-industrail complex? The irony befuddles even my fine canine, Lola, who said to me, "WHAT?"

Can somebody photoshop up a pic of Ward Churchill in a Burger King uniform?

Scratch that idea. Better to photoshop WC w/ a 'Will Lie For Food' sign in a Home Depot parking lot. With his attitude, Churchill wouldn't last the day at BK. Either he'd get fired for being nasty to the customers or a customer would go postal on him.

Even a job at Burger King should be out of the reach of this moronic fraud.He definitely has some serious mental problems that probably stem from doing way too many hits of acid.Only in a university could someone lie his way into a lifetime position that pays him a six figure salary to screw up the minds of young people.

The tenured professor "industry" is such a scam if guys like Churchill can not be fired.

One thing liberals are good at is living off the system they are trying to destroy. They know how to get all the government grants and bennys, where the freebies are hidden, etc. We accuse them of pandering to the minorities, and they do for votes, but much of what they sneak under the tent is for themselves.
